Allergist and Immunologist 's  Response
Hello Zain,

Thank you for asking at HCM.

I went through your history and would like to know more about you like - a. Since how long you have allergies and asthma? b. What is the frequency of your asthma episodes? c. What are your nose symptoms? d. What are the best and worst seasons for you?

Above details will help me more to guide you better. At present, I would like to make suggestions as follows:

1. Were I treating you, I would suggest you regular montelukast and levocetirizine for at least 2-3 months.

2. I would also suggest you to use salbutamol inhaler on as-and-when-needed basis for asthma symptoms/wheezing/breathlessness.

3. I would suggest you allergy testing which will help you identify the substances causing allergies to you and also to know the measures to avoid them.

Common asthma-allergy causing substances are air-borne substances like house dust mites, cockroach proteins, molds and pollens in your environment and animal proteins (if you have pet/s).

Based on the allergy testing, an Allergist-Immunologist may prescribe you allergen specific immunotherapy which works on immune system to gradually improve allergy symptoms in a long run.

4. In general, please avoid exposure to dusts, smokes and air pollution.

5. Regular breathing exercises (including Yoga & Pranayama) and a healthy diet rich in vitamins & minerals (adequate amounts of green leafy vegetables, fruits, sprouts, etc) will also help you in a long run by improving lung capacity and immunity respectively.

As you have asked about fruits, usually asthma is caused by many factors acting together, so any particular food is less likely to cause asthma. Of course, asthma attacks can be triggered by cold foods, cold drinks and some fruits.

Hope above suggestions will be helpful to you.

Should you have any further query, please feel free to ask at HCM.

Wish you the best of the health.

Thank you & Regards.
